OK, friends, you know the drill around these parts.
We do the 5-at-10, Mondays-through-Fridays, come rain of shine. Come vacation or sickness.
That's how we roll.
Well, the 5-at-10 clan is out west - staying in the national park of the Grand Tetons (and no FE to the C, this has nothing to do with Salma Hayek).
So that means we're going to unload a quick 5-at-10 this week. Today, we'll offer five quick true or false options. Hey, it is a Tuesday. Before we sing the true or false wheel, let's give a tip of the visor to Weston Wamp, who is manning the wheel while the regular 5-at-10 hosts are on vacation with family:.
To the T or Fs:
True or false, Jordan Spieth will win 10 or more majors. (We say false here because a) the money is too great now and unless you have the pirate cutthroat ways of Tiger or Kobe, the money changes everything, and b) we can see Spieth being a good father and that will take away from his game.Side note: Jordan closed like a young Tiger last week at Birkdale, but man, in our search for the next Tiger we forget how good the old Tiger was. And anyone - ANYONE - who thinks Jordan putts it better than Tiger is cracked. Period. Jordan's short game may be better - and he's a more consistently great chipper than even Mickelson. But no one - NO ONE - made more meaningful putts from 8 feet than Tiger. Dude was so money it surprised you when he missed.)
True or false, Starting with the 2018-19 season, the Cleveland Cavs will be the worst team in East. (We think true. The Ky-ME Irving soap opera is staggering on so many levels. Yes we are pro-LeBron, but who in this day and age of super teams announces that he is willing to go to a team with less of chance to win it all so he can be Da Man? Part of me wonders if this is not some sort of supreme "Stick it to Dan Gilbert" master plan being orchestrated by LeBron, who we all know is headed out after this season, if not sooner. In fact, if you are the Cavs, do you not try to escalate the tanking process and deal LeBron now? Send him anywhere for something because without Irving and without major improvements, the Cavs have no chance to beat the Warriors. Period.
True or false, UTC, which opened camp on Monday, will make the playoffs in Tom Arth's first season. (We say true. We understand some of the back and forth from Stewwie and some of the others on here last week. But we believe the talent is there and the offense is going to cook.)
True or false, Hugh Freeze will be a head coach again at a power five school. (We say true, unless another clown-sized shoe drops in this one. And man Houston Nutt's lawyer is going for blood, and that dude who did all the leg work for Nutt's attorney who works for the Mississippi State scout site just made this year's Egg Bowl arguably the most heated this side of the Iron Bowl.)
True or false, Walter Payton, who would have turned 63 today is far left on the Rushmore of running backs. (We say false. We'd go Jim Brown 1, Barry Sanders 2 and then everyone else is in the discussion. We think Payton makes it, but he's not better than Brown or Barry.)
So there you go, five true or false and a Rushmore. It's like we're back in the saddle right there in Chatta-Vegas and not rafting 10 miles down the Snake River.
Go, and enjoy the day.
